Board Game News Brief: February 20th, 2019

My favorite eurogame is hitting retail!

Unable to pay its creditors, the nation of Axia is placed under crippling austerity measures by the Economic Union. Crisis is a eurogame of opportunistic industrialists who are snapping up Axian farms and pharma companies as they either go bankrupt or are privatised for bargain rates.

Purchase industries, hire employees to run them, and ensure that the Axian economy doesn’t crash while making sure to line your own pockets. Slick, gorgeous, topical and bursting with intelligence and narrative – Crisis is my absolute favorite euro and you should keep your eye on its release.

Tiny Epic Tactics

I mean the game looks like this:

“Conquer your opponents in tactical combat where every calculated move matters… or journey across the land and through the caves in a grand cooperative/solo adventure.” reads the official description. Use your Fighter, Wizard, Rogue, and Beast to either do battle with opposing teams or play co-op in campaign play – all on gorgeous 3D cardboard terrain.

U-Boot hits retail

The game is real time, app-driven, co-operative submarine warfare with a gorgeous 3D submarine and plenty of crew miniatures. Go on patrols, hunt ships, and lay mines in this World War 2 inspired naval game.

Alone 2nd Editionbrings the game of one hero vs many monsters to new heights – loads of fresh content joins the (very expansive) base box

This came to our attention late so it’s almost closed but the final expansion for Millenium Bladesis currently on KS with 400 new cards. The game is about buying cards and playing in a card game tournament -one of the most brilliant concepts for a game tbh.
